Appearance
Template:Nuke-NRC1 Rochester Gas & Electric's Ginna nuclear power plant is near Rochester, New York, in the United States. It is a single unit Westinghouse 2-Loop pressurized water reactor, similar to those at Point Beach, Kewaunee, and Prairie Island. This plant is operated by Rochester Gas & Electric Company and owned by the RGS Energy Group.
The Ginna plant was the site of a small nuclear accident when, on January 26, 1982, a small amount of radioactive steam leaked into the air after a tube ruptured. The leak which lasted 93 minutes led to the declaration of a site emergency.
